Ultra Pima by Cascade Yarns is a super-soft pima cotton and great for all seasons! Ultra Pima is a DK weight knitting yarn so it’s very versatile to design anything from a sweater to baby garments! Ultra Pima is much softer than other cotton yarns and does not feel stiff. Because Ultra Pima is mercerized using a different process, we believe it’s in a league of it’s own. Ultra Pima is machine washable for easy care.

It is the recommended yarn for Knitted Knockers of Canada, who provides handknit prosthetics to women who have undergone mastectomies, or procedures to the breast.

This beautifully soft yarn from Americo Original is composed of 60% baby alpaca fleece combined with 40% pima cotton.
